Create a thoughtful gift box for your Secret Sister with our color-themed gift set ideas that are described below.

Your Secret Sister will have an unforgettable experience from the thoughtful gifts and notes that you surprise her with. You are creating a way for her to feel seen and loved, just by adding those extra personal touches to her gifts.

A great Secret Sister gift will feature something that you know about her, something that she loves. A good way to "get to know" her is through a survey or questionnaire that many Secret Sister groups utilize when forming the program. If you are planning to start a Secret Sister group and need access to a getting-to-know-you form, choose one of our free printable options here:

• Questionnaire
• Getting to Know You
• About Me
• Survey
• Worksheet

HOW TO CURATE A DIY FAVORITE COLOR THEMED GIFT BOX

Choose 4-6 small items that are your Secret Sister's favorite color.

Just shop with a color in mind, and purchase anything useful which you think she'd like in that color.

We have some gift suggestions below.

• candle
• lotion
• lip balm
• candy / chocolate
• nail polish
• bracelet
• hair scrunchie
• stickers
• notecard
• gift card
• coffee mug
• fancy pen
• key ring
• snacks

Write a personal note with an encouraging message (or type it out if she might recognize your handwriting). Let her know you are thinking of her and praying for her, but do not sign your name if she is a secret pal. Then use a jar or color-matching gift box, lining it with paper shreds or tissue paper. Add in your gifts, placing the larger or heavier items in there first. Remember to add in your note on top so she will see it right away when she opens the gift. Find a way to get the gift to her anonymously so she doesn't know it's from you.

Here are some additional tips for a themed gift box for your Secret Sister:

• Gather something from every category of her "likes" from her questionnaire form and make a gift box with those items.
• If she loves coffee and chocolate, give her a gift-mug with a chocolate bar inside, along with a single serve pack of coffee grounds and a coffee shop gift card.
• Go with a word theme - like Sunshine! Purchase cheerful yellow things and write her a message saying you are adding some sunshine to her day.
• If she is a sports enthusiast, give her a gift box featuring the colors of her favorite team. Tell her you are cheering her on!
• Send her flowers or a gift box of items that have floral-designs, adding a message about growing in grace or how she beautifies the world with her gentle spirit.
• If your Secret Sister loves to read, find a nice devotional for her.
• She may enjoy a journal with a pretty pen that matches.
• A busy mom might appreciate a gift card for a restaurant so she can get a night out with her husband. Tell her you'll offer to watch her kids some night once your name has been revealed.
• If your Secret Sister loves to bake, find small baking gadgets and make a gift basket with those items. Some ideas include a whisk, cake decorating tips and bags, a cake tester, cute measuring cups, etc. Or give her a jar of pretty-shaped sprinkles with a message that says you hope her entire day is sprinkled with the joy of the Lord.
• A creative person would enjoy receiving calligraphy pens, a sketchbook, stickers, glitter glue, a Scripture stamp, or a Bible verse coloring book.
• A gardener would appreciate garden tools, a potted plant, or a pack of seeds with a message of how you are rooting for her.
• If your Secret Sister group is part of your women's group at church, your gifts should be faith-based with Bible verses or Christian products. Find some great gift ideas in our categories below, and find additional Christian gifts at christiancardsandgifts.com

Make your own prayer books or Scripture booklets with this simple DIY technique. With only a few supplies that you probably already have, you can make cute little prayer books that are perfect gifts for the ladies at church, a loved one in the hospital, or your Secret Sister (of course)!

This would be an ideal activity to be done in your local women's group at church. This is an inexpensive small group option that could be a fun gathering experience.

To make these, cut cardstock paper into strips that are about 3 inches tall. Fold each strip into equal panels, accordion-style. If you have a paper-scoring-board, that makes it easier to plan your folding measurements, but a ruler would work just fine. If your paper strip is 8 inches wide by 3 inches tall, you may fold it every 2 inches. Then it will look similar to the top example shown in our photo below.

An optional way to decorate the pages of these prayer books is to cut patterned scrapbook paper into rectangles that are the same size of your folded panels. For example, if each "page" is 3 inches by 2 inches, cut decorative paper into 3" x 2" sections. Mix and match your paper patterns for each panel, as shown below. Attach them to the folded cardstock with a glue stick or double-sided adhesive tape. (Hint: you won't need fancy glue. Stock up on inexpensive multi-packs of glue sticks when there are back-to-school supplies on sale.)

Next you will add writing to the pages. Include short prayers, Bible verses, and/or inspirational quotes. These messages could be written with pen, marker, or a calligraphy set. Another idea is to use Scripture stickers on each page, if you have those available.

Decorate your prayer book(s) with stickers, ribbon, stamps, or pressed flowers.

Make these for yourself, or to share with someone else. You could even keep extra prayer books in your purse to give to the people you encounter in your daily life (grocery store, church, work, on a walk, etc.) to bring a smile to their faces and spread some joy to their hearts.
